    Absolutely nothing wrong with what you are doing!
    I drove over 30yrs for different companies, plus independent lease.
    The times I did Auto dealerships was all night deliveries in the Northern Mountain States of New England. And I many times was in the boonies with nothing open and had to do the same as you two! It's called being resourceful for the job you're doing and the situation you're in!
    I found myself in the woods plenty of times, having to crap where the Moose and Bears did it. And a lot of personal cleaning for hygiene was was done in cold mountain rivers, streams, and lakes, spring, summer, fall, and winter!
    After sleeping for 8 hrs parked in a boonies small town shopping center and waking at 1 - 3am, you don't just get out of truck and pee or crap in the middle of the parking lot?
    So it's in a bottle for #1, and in a bag for #2 ! Then dispose of it properly when you do eventually meet up with a normal truck stop!
    All you criticizers of this type of thing, must be Point A to Point B drivers!!
    The terminal points your truck in the direction it has to go! And when you get to Point B you need someone to back it in for you, and then point it in the next direction you're headed to? You spend most of your time at truck stops eating, and pissing/moaning about what you do. If you ever had to go off the beaten path and actually do some work, you'd probably die from not being able to survive without the proper amenities!
    As one dumb ass commented, saying it's not an RV? Well I beg to differ, because in a way it is a working RV! It's a rolling office workstation when working, and basically a living area when resting! So if you can live in it, then that requires all the aspects that come in life!
    And if properly maintained and cleaned inside, then there should be no problem, just like in a fully setup RV itself.
    So Lovin Truckin, you two are alright doing what you do, and you probably get more loads and miles, then those cry babies that depend on the truck stops for EVERYTHING!

      Ian Anderson , more power to you and all the truck drivers out there. I been driving trucks since I got out of the military that was 9 years ago. Yes when it comes to pee and crapping I too have to do inside the truck inside the bag. Once done I will find some empty dirt area and bury the bag. I don’t throw out onto the parking lot or in open. It’s disgusting and another reason I can’t stand is those lazy ass drivers or litter bugs throws their trash out on to the freeway or parking lots. That’s why Walmart doesn’t allow trucks to park there because we don’t know how to appreciate things.

    For all of you who say these people are gross, you really need a reality check. Do you enjoy being able to go to the store with the guarantee (majority of the time) that what you need is going to be there sitting on the shelf? You have truck drivers to thank for that luxury. Truckers go through a lot of shit ensuring that we have the luxury of having all of life's necessities and toys available at all times, only to be treated like dirt by other drivers on the road and bitched at for cleaning up in a public bathroom. Thank you truckers!!! You do a job that deserves more appreciation :)

    When I was in the Army I used the big neck bottle for No 1's but for No 2's I had a small bucket with double lining of supermarket carrier bage inside a medium size Cool Box which made it more comfortable to sit on and every time I used it I threw a handfull or 2 of sawdust on top, This reduces the smell and by the time you close the Cool Box you smell nothing. If you want you can drop a little Lemon Bleach after each use or after you empty it

    I used to be a truck driver when I owned a Toyota Tacoma. LOL.
    Sorry, I couldn't resist.
    Anyway, when I was single and did some travel around the country, I always took showers at truck stops. I saved a lot of money on hotels by sleeping in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I removed the rear seats and made a nice bed. I'm 6'3" and could stretch my legs and always got good sleep. On long trips I did my laundry in hotels. They never refused to let me use their laundry machines. Some were free and some required coins to operate.
    Bathrooms are everywhere in this country and rest stops are conveniently located every 50 miles or so. It had never been a problem unlike in some other countries I had visited. I remember having to pay to use a bathroom in Moscow, and they charged for toilet paper too. LOL. There was a mean old lady at the entrance who took the money and sold the toilet paper and we are no talking about a roll of toilet paper. She asked - " How many?", to which I replied - " One". 😕 She gave me one tiny square.😨 I had to get about 10 more and got charged accordingly. LOL!

    Thanks, I haven't been Over The Road as a CDL Class A driver in a big rig for maybe 8 years. I am 61 and recently unemployed from a B Class trucking job. I always said I would never go back to Over The Road because of the unsanitary and unhealthy lifestyle. There wasn't very much communication back then to help a guy cope with the sicknesses of the road. I remember Pink Eye so bad my eyes were almost glued shut as I crossed several states, and pneumonia with fever so bad I sweated my bunk soaked several times and never got to sleep. Since then I have gotten into Nutritional Health and healing and never get sick. My only health issue is two compressed disk at C5 and C6 and restricts my lifting ability. If I could get a trucking job with no touch freight I may have a chance of making a go at trucking again. Videos like this one will help with staying healthy on the road. I have applied for Disability for the compressed disk but that may take 5 months before I know if it is approved. SO I have to consider going back to the only thing I know. Jobs in Virginia are slim and none because of our Democrat Governor keeping our economic growth at 0% or less.

    You can also get disposable washcloths in a pack like wipes. Cheap. No need to rinse off. Get them at grocery store. They also have packs that can be nuked first so their warm. Those u can find in a pharmacy type store, their used to clean patients that can't get to a tub. As for the bucket you can use a pool noodle cut to size and split to put around the top. The wipes r good to use after that as well for freshness.

    I think that every new driver should watch this video. You are so right in that some of the more private things on this video are first, unavoidable at one point or another. As you said, first and foremost, anyone would rather use proper facilities. Sometimes it is just not possible. Second... A lot of truck drivers are either made to feel like this is wrong, or disgusting by other overly critical drivers (who in an honest moment would admit to having to do the same a time or two.) Or just plain old fashioned ignorance. Because it is rarely if ever talked about most are embarrassed and/or disgusted with themselves by it. Most experienced drivers know that your psychological well-being in a truck is as important as how rested and alert you are. If you are feeling or are being made to feel like you are just lazy or guilty of sloth, it can make your experience in the truck so much less enjoyable at the least. At worst, it can actually cripple your ability to love your job. Thank you for this video. Be safe out there. To some of the new drivers out there seeing this video, and maybe stumbling across this comment... here their advice. First it is illegal to 1 or 2 anywhere outdoors in a public place such as pickle parks, and choke-n-pukes. Second nobody is going to enjoy seeing a new place if, as soon as they step out of the truck all they smell is rotten urine or worse. Please, if you have to do it, make sure it can be desposed of in a way that is sanitary to yourself and others.

    Loved your video and the tips. Like you, I had a "port-a-potty" bucket with a garbage bag as a liner, except I used a plastic shoe box (with a cover) that I had found at Walmart and I dumped a bit of scented kitty litter into the bag each time. I used to keep a huge bucket of that litter under the bunk just for that purpose. As to the baths, I poured cold water from a bottle onto a sponge with some soap on it and called it done. I no longer drive a truck, but watching your video sure brought back some memories and makes me miss the life. Once a trucker, always a trucker...

    School’em girlfriend! I bought a plastic medium shallow storage container at Walmart. It’s not huge but it’s not tiny, all I do is lay down an old towel, the container on top, a washcloth and antibacterial soap hit the five spots and you still have enough water for legs and feet. And here’s the perk whatever water spilled on the floor you can now mop the floor with the old towel and some lavender wash, now your floors are clean and your tuck smells great. Store the container under your bunk. Blessings guys!

That's something truck drivers don't like to talk about too. There's a book on Amazon called private trucker showers that is really good tells how to take showers in your truck, not advertising it but it also comes with trucking. Keeping it real out here OTR

    I just discovered you two and you are adorable! I drove my first semi in 1983 and have always used ziplock bags and lined buckets for the potty! Even if a bathroom is available I cannot bring myself to expose my lady parts! Too many germs and no privacy. We cook great meals in the truck too. You two look like you are having a lot of fun! Stay safe!

    I drove like you for many years. I like this it's neat and did a similar facility on my truck. Each time I returned home for a few days I removed all my goods from the cab and did a thorough cleaning, then restocked with everything just like equipping a motor home. It's a Japanese apartment on wheels. I even had tools, hardware, and a bicycle for local transportation into human civilization as travel-truck stops and truck parking areas are usually bad neighborhoods where drivers get treated like circus trash.

    Truckers do an amazing job and keep food and other supplies moving so I can get off my backside and walk 5 mins down the road to buy what I need. Never underestimate the value of truckers. It is a job I would never contemplate doing but I am glad there is some who do. I went on a road trip when young with a friend's father. I had dreams of open road windows down and singing along to Black Sabbath. Now the latter part was true but it was poor weather, long day and spent a lot of it stop starting on the motorway. I had enough of trucking that day. I was glad to be back at school the next. I like the idea of trucking but for me not the reality.

      Believe it or not there are a ton of truckers with college degrees; I am one of them. However, I don't do OTR although I have. I still drive but I'm home more, like everyday. It's not LTL but somewhat similar. I wouldn't do OTR today only if I could earn upwards of $80,000.

    Normally I don't leave comments but after your video, I feel compelled to give you a big thumbs up. I love the team spirit that you show in the video, I imagine how hard it would be for me to live (let alone drive 24/7 with someone. The information you gave in the video is fantastic. I do a lot of surveillance inside of my vehicle for 6 to 10 hours a day and it is refreshing to hear that you guys use some of the techniques I use. Keep up the good videos, my God continues to bless you.

    Bottle water baths, they can be so refreshing, and lots of fresh wipes . I would put down a plastic garbage bag , close the curtain, strip down ,and with a bowl of bottle water and soap and a rag, wipe down. Rinse off, dry off, spray on some smell Purty, get dressed and roll! I would do this in between showers

    glad I'm not the only guy that does the bag thing. Good idea to put other odor absorbing waste in the bag, if I hadn't already thought of it myself I'd definitely take your advice. In other words, I agree. For those that throw it in the ditch, be warned, maybe one day they'll have a quick field DNA kit. Keep up the good work you two. Trucking is still one of the best ways to make a living, that is actually work, which is job security.

    Buy fuel in a truckstop and you get a free shower. I just bought fuel once a day at supper time. When the sun was going down and you get that glare. I would eat and shower the roll on a few more hours then sleep.

      Not all truckstops have showers. The one I work at in Lebanon TN does not, and we're one of only 3 stops in the whole town. Not a big town but we have a lot of trucks come thru every day. But as for free showers, try to go to stops that have AmBest, you get a free shower credit after buying so much fuel. 50 gallons I think, but I've forgotten since it doesn't apply to us. The credit goes on your AmBucks card tho, so you can use it anywhere.

    • @GlassByThaddeus

    When my husband and I headed over the road..I got on Amazon and bought a small square potty with lid and easy empty valve, spout to add water and a tank to hold water if needed to flush by pumping a plastic "squishy" thing that you just push down. Otherwise, just pull the front knob out to empty the pot into the bottom. It fits easily in the hole under the microwave spot and other places where we just pull it out. It's a little of 50 bucks so there's NO splashing and trying to hang onto a bottle going down the road. It's in the RV shopping section.
